Love Will Find A Way

Insightful post by Peter Schramm over at No Left Turns about the brain chemistry of love.  Tell these people that love is merely a primitive drive; nothing more than a bunch of chemicals in your brain.  Try that one next Valentine's Day or anniversary: "Honey, you really stimulate my brain chemistry and get my 'reward and aversion' instinct excited. The love I  feel for you  is simillar to homestatic rewards such as food, warmth, and craving for drugs." Now I don't doubt that everything these guys find is true, in fact what they are saying is love is a biological need, and I agree.  Let's just hope that science does not replace poetry as the primary language of love.  For my very deep thoughts on this matter, read this talk I gave (Warning: heavy handed Catholic moralizing is involved).
